In ancient Egyptian mythology, a dead person's soul would be weighed against the feather of truth in a ritual called a psychostasy. If their soul was lighter than the feather, it would ascend into the afterlife. Heavy souls were devoured by Maat, eater of the dead. Good films go to hard drive heaven while the recycle bin eats the rest.

The Angry Red Planet (1959)
A science fiction directed by Ib Melchior.
The survivors of a mission to Mars return to Earth and tell their story.
The plot and characters were 2 dimensional. The pacing was alright and the style was absolutely horrible. There was a video effect that turned everything pinkish red when the astronauts were on Mars and some of the "landscapes" and "plants" were just drawings. The cool thing was that I got to see the monster featured on The Misfits' album cover of "Walk Among Us". The picture is here. This is one of those "so bad it's good" films, so I'm rating it o.k.
